I'm not sure what you mean by the DWL-650 being an Orinco card. The DWL-650 is a D-Link product built upon the Intersil Prism-2.5 chipset. Why do you think is Orinco? > FWIW, watch out for the The 650+. It is a totally different card with a > completely different chipset.

Unfortunately, most of the newer cards you're going to pick up at a BestBuy/CompUSA/Staples/etc are useless for Open Source users. Neither TI nor the other closed-source chip vendors are releasing specs or docs, last I heard. This is why I stocked up on DWL-650's a while back.
